 I grew up in a beautiful city.
Beautiful were the ancient buildings and palaces of Vilnius, where modern architecture blends with nature and old houses. I remember the sense of harmony that used to overcome me on the streets of the Old City.
Since I was a little girl I wished to study the fine arts. While grew up , I attended sculpture classes, art school, painting classes.
In Israel I took a few jewelry-making courses in college, studied at the internationally renowned Jeweler Carol Zarate studio. I learned how to work with wax and with metal, learned to make things from scratch.
In 2008 and 2009 my jewels were exhibited at the Jewelry Olympus show in St.-Petersburg. Also in 2008 I took part in a competition organized by a Jewelry Artist Journal published in Malvern and came in 2nd in the 2008 Awards.
While I'm working on a specific project, it is very important for me to be totally enthralled with the item that I'm creating. Sometimes, when I say “That’s it! That’s what I wanted!” ( and many designs never do reach that stage, and are discarded), I feel that the joy I felt in the creative process will pass to the person, who ultimately wears jewelry I designed and it will bring her happiness.
